and the Boston Globe are a disgrace. Fuck them all. And thanks! The man saved the lives of other prisoners too...he is an American hero and should not be treated in this manner. I would have deleted the OP if I could.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

It IS kinda sad Joe... I think what we saw was the beginning of the end of the Biden campaign. InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2019 #29

Nope. Fortunately. LanternWaste Nov 2019 #53

It is the first debate I mostly watched (laptop, WA Post website) - I thought Biden NRaleighLiberal Nov 2019 #3

You skipped Warren entire. hedda_foil Nov 2019 #4

sorry - tired! - I edited to add Warren in with the larger group. I didn't think she stood out NRaleighLiberal Nov 2019 #6

I don't see myself BlueMTexpat Nov 2019 #24

Love Elizabeth too!! Currently my #2... but I could easily see voting for her InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2019 #30

It looked like a tremor to me The Blue Flower Nov 2019 #27

I would give AK a B-... a solid B had it not been for the trembling. InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2019 #32

That comment Joe made about coming out of the black community was stunning!! InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2019 #33

Ouch nt redqueen Nov 2019 #36

Biden had a bad night and he looked tired the whole time Hav Nov 2019 #51

Yes, by far Joe's worst debate performance. InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2019 #70

More Warren supporters in the media...they obviously didn't watch the same debate I did...I thought Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #43

Good lord. The Valley Below Nov 2019 #9

Biden isn't the leader of the party. TidalWave46 Nov 2019 #23

Sliming the probable nominee is a bad idea unless you want four more years of Trump. Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #44

Don't agree with you about the Trump part.... TidalWave46 Nov 2019 #46

Most polls show Trump above 40%. He has to win three states...WI, MI and PA. Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #54

I don't think we will "allow" it to happen. TidalWave46 Nov 2019 #55

I agree...we have great candidates...and in any other election, I would not worry so much. But Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #58

That's absurd DavidDvorkin Nov 2019 #11

good let's go Joe ! stonecutter357 Nov 2019 #16

Senator Harris' mother is Indian and her father Jamaican Lizzie Boredom Nov 2019 #17

Boston Globe was revealing their own bias & assumptions... WePurrsevere Nov 2019 #20

For the most part, the term AA has morphed into something much larger. TidalWave46 Nov 2019 #22

Agree with you there. InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2019 #35

Yeah, like how Barack Obama isn't really mcar Nov 2019 #25

Obama's father was born in Africa...Apparently which I didn't know as I could care a less... Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #45

Non sequitur Lizzie Boredom Nov 2019 #62

Many Jamaicans came to that island as African slaves mcar Nov 2019 #64

Harris' ancestors weren't slaves Lizzie Boredom Nov 2019 #90

Telling a black woman how she should identify herself is beneath Democrats. Leave the whitesplaining StarfishSaver Nov 2019 #94

Who's doing that? Lizzie Boredom Nov 2019 #95

You are StarfishSaver Nov 2019 #99

So, no answers to my questions, then Lizzie Boredom Nov 2019 #106

You're mighty confrontational for one here only 4 days and just eeking past a single-digit postcount StarfishSaver Nov 2019 #107

She was the little girl Biden tried to stop busing treestar Nov 2019 #105

I wish you were correct... tonedevil Nov 2019 #98

Indeed StarfishSaver Nov 2019 #100

How many generations? treestar Nov 2019 #104

+1. Not to mention that she didn't become Senator until 2016, after Obama/Biden R B Garr Nov 2019 #40

This one does not float - Jamaica is like 98% black treestar Nov 2019 #79

Wow. You might want to walk that back. Cuthbert Allgood Nov 2019 #80

Wow. That's a ridiculous claim StarfishSaver Nov 2019 #93

Why are you twisting into knots by trying to change what R B Garr Nov 2019 #97

Biden isn't my pick but Raine Nov 2019 #18

I remember the 1992 Food Fight Debate and Joe Biden is no James Stockdale. Eugene Nov 2019 #19

No, not a big deal... but it is an indication that Joe has trouble expressing his thoughts. InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2019 #37

Again...perhaps you need to read up on Stockdale...as a Navy Brat, I know the man is a hero...so Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #52

Seeing they gave Klobuchar an A- tell me this piece is bunk. TidalWave46 Nov 2019 #21

Biden had some shaky moments but ritapria Nov 2019 #28

I agree... it's way past time to jettison the second and third tier candidates from the debate stage InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2019 #38

BS. highplainsdem Nov 2019 #42

I would also add that no matter what...party or no party...Admiral Stockdale was a war hero who was Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #47

Fuck you Boston Globe and I am sure Biden will be proud to be compared to an American hero like Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #49

I did not know these things about Admiral Stockdale. The Valley Below Nov 2019 #72

Every navy brat has heard of Admiral Stockdale...and the person who wrote this article Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #73
